Spring has sprung

Yesterday the Japanese magnolia had only buds on it; today most of the buds have bloomed. So I walked back to the tulip magnolias that grow by the fence to the back pasture, to find that I’d almost missed them blooming entirely. The camellias — double and single blossoms — are budding and blooming together. Our place looks like a park. I practically expect to see one of the ladies from Cypress Gardens to appear in all her hoop-skirted, pastel finery.

I took these photos this afternoon with my new Canon digital camera. It’s cool. So far, I barely know how to use it.

Yesterday we had a dinner party for eight. A good time, good people, good food.

  1. What kind of camera do you have? I have been planning on getting a Canon but I can’t decide which model.

  2. I got a Canon Eos Rebel XT. It’s my first digital SLR. I got it because it’s good value for the money, and a friend who I know to be a savvy shopper recommended it. So far I’m quite happy with it but still largely clueless.

  3. Hi… stumbled onto your lovely site… your photos are stunning! The largely clueless comment in your response to Debbie is SO not true! Nice job, definitely “cluefull”! 😀
